Printing.....

For my cc I carry my xd9sc w/ an IWB CB super tuck. I typically wear a button up shirt daily(untucked). I am a lefty, so I carry at about 8 o'clock. I guess my question is this. Regardless of how I carry at points throughout the day, I print. Whether the wind blows my shirt against my carry or I bend over and someways in the way I twist my body. Is there something I am not doing/understanding or just plain "paranoid" that it will be observed by the general public? Any help would be great, thanks!!

All winter I had no problem with my g23, Now I am having the same problem as you. I my self am looking in to a smaller pistol like a cm9 for summer ccw. I have a s&w p99c in 40 that conceals fine I just do not like the gun and will sell it most likely.

It's a really nice gun, shoots great and accurate! If I was a woman and needed/wanted to carry something small, this would be the one. It's thin and light and small. I just prefer a little bigger caliber. Perfect for a woman.

Printing is a factor of gun size, holster type, and body type. There is no silver bullet that fixes this for everyone. Only a trial and error process to discover what works for you.

In my 16+ years of daily CCW I've packed the full size spectrum of sidearms. 5 years ago I discovered the magic of a pistol that was no taller than 4" from top of slide to bottom of mag well and no wider than 1" at the slide. I've carried this gun with 1 bu mag in an office environment for 5 years with no concern of printing. Not to pump my choice of gun because there are many that fit these dimensions but if your currious, it's the Kahr PM 9. carried in a belly band rig slung low around the hip I'm able to position the gun strong side and it completely disappears.

I think your being self conscious about it.
Most people will never notice. All the crap on people's belts these days, most will just think you have some sort of electronic leash on your belt. Ironically, the people most likely to notice will probably be other people CCing.

I was carrying the 16rd mag for it and a buddy of mine suggested the 10rd mag and that shorter 1"-1 1/4" made a huge difference but I guess in the back of my head I still feel like all eyes are on me. I just recently started carrying again after yrs of not carrying so maybe it's just all mental.

Imo if its not in the back of tour mind you might be too relaxed about it. Let's face it there are people out there actively seeking to take away our rights. All it takes is an anti in a restaurant to notice it and make a big commotion and you have problems.
